This is pic 2 of 4, of me attempting The Great Dyno. This pic was taken right when I was starting the dyno. I got a good launch off my right foot. Click to continue and to find out if I stick the dyno..........

This is pic 1 of 4, of me attempting The Great Dyno. As its name suggests, the Dyno is huge. You must launch with your right foot, and if it slips then there is no way you will stick it. Click next picture to continue....

This is pic 3 of 4, of me attempting The Great Dyno. This is a pic of me in mid-flight on the dyno. Its a huge dyno and to make it, you have to just let it all go and dont hold anything back. Click to continue..........

This is pic 4 of 4, of me attempting The Great Dyno. Unfortunatly I did not stick it and you can see me falling off like a little girl, and of course when I did stick the dyno, Matt was all out of film in the camera. But I did stick the dyno!!!

This is a picture of Sparky on our 1st ever trad climb. You can see our huge rack on the REI sling. We lead all of Calypso using only one set of stoppers and one set of hexes and a couple slings. I am surprised that we did not die.

This is Matt(sparky) racking out our gear before our attempt on the Spearhead. We were trying to go ultra-light so he was taking off everything we would not need. This picture turned out better then I expected.

This is Nick on one of his first lead trad climbs, it was on the easy 5.5 crack at Lookout Mountain. You can see the Coors Beer Factory to the left of his back, we always hoped the beer factory would explode and it would rain beer on us, but it has not happened.

This is Peter on pitch one of the wind ridge. It has about 10 minutes after this picture was taken that Nick and Peter became known as Team Rope Drop. You can read the story at me and Matt's site: www.geocities.com/climb_eldorado/

This is me leading The Twin Owls Crack on the little formation (I forget what it is called.....) cool route, I got high enough to place to pieces, but my hands were getting chewed up and I did not want to spend too much time on this route so I bailed off, this is when Matt(spraky) and I invented reverse aid climbing. I bet you can guess how it worked......
